Keeping bees that are local to our climate and region is the most important step in great quality honey.  Many Apiaries/beekeepers buy packaged bees from warmer climates, and then “feed them” sugar syrup to get them through the winters.  At Tripp Bees, we do not.   Our location is prime for some of the best native flowers, so not only is your honey great tasting, but also has health benefits including being able to function productively during pollen/allergy season!
